The whole thing sucks.
Ah, a difficult situation. Incidentally, my desk calendar is offering me the following sick note: "Dear School: Please eckuse John being absent on Jan. 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, and also 33." I feel it should be signed "Epstein's Mother."
Sadly, I have to follow Juliana's example now. My head cold has started to eat my brain, and NyQuil and sleep is in my immediate future.
Night all.
I'm here! I was buffdiving.
So, yeah.
I got a haircut. But no shave. And it was considerably more than two bits.
What's a rand?
Oh, there goes Juliana...

Sorry, Kristen, you'll have to speak up... MUMBLER!
Um. Okay. I have absolutely no idea what that's all about as I don't follow cricket. It just seemed like a good England/Australia link that Americans had no interest it. Serves me right for being a smartarse.
Ha! No, that's fine. I'm not a big follower of the cricket myself, and let's face it, the Aussie cricketers aren't in a position to complain about people being mean to them.
So, does England have the Ashes, then? If memory serves, that's quite a novelty.
That's my understanding. I believe they'll be playing for it again in the near future. Right now Melbourne's sporting attention is turning to the upcoming Commonwealth Games (now the Australian Open is over). The guy one cubicle over is a Greek Cypriot, he was pretty stoked with Baghdatis' performance.
They've named it 'NObs'. My inner twleve-year-old is having trouble getting past it.
Recall the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Site on the coast between San Diego and Orange County? Also known (to me, at least) as nobs.
Rand? In what context? Sounds like it's short for Grugerand (sp?) but I'm just guessing.
Oh bum, and K has gone too.
Just Aims, BT and me... PARTY!
eta: Oh, and Cass...

"Can you believe they asked me to find a hotel room instead of staying with them? How sodomous!" "I know. My in-laws are sodomites too."
BWAH!!

I took a MENSA test yesterday and one of the solutions was "100 cents ina rand". I assume it's money. What kind of money?

South African money! Rand-y gits.
Well then, that explains the other solution "9 provinces in South Africa". Other ones I did not get were 15 players on a rugby team and 6 balls to an out in cricket.
I am obviously not going to be a member of British MENSA. I am so glad the expectations of American geniuses is so much lower.
